A carjacking suspect who was fatally shot by San Francisco police in the downtown area after leading officers on a three-county chase was identified Tuesday as a 34-year-old Richmond resident.

Giovany Contreras Sandoval was killed when six San Francisco police officers fired 32 rounds at him at about 6 a.m. Sept. 25, shortly after he flipped an SUV he stole from a woman in Richmond earlier that morning, authorities said.

Police Chief Greg Suhr said Sandoval — who had prior convictions for assault with a deadly weapon and brandishing a firearm, as well as a history of drug offenses — had tried to kidnap 32-year-old Olga Leon as she left for the gym in her white 2003 Cadillac Escalade on McBryde Avenue about 4:55 a.m.

She fled, and Contreras Sandoval took off in the Escalade, eventually crashing it in the Financial District, police said. When a Good Samaritan ran to help Sandoval out of the overturned vehicle, he allegedly fired a 1936 Russian revolver. The bystander wasn’t hit, but still suffered a superficial injury to his chest, Suhr said.

When responding officers realized Sandoval had the gun in his right hand, they began pleading with him to drop it, according to Suhr. He said Sandoval was half out of the car when he reached under his arm and pointed the revolver at the officers, prompting them to fire. It is unknown how many rounds struck the suspect.

Though the shooting is under investigation, Suhr said he has no indication his officers violated any policies.
